Re: Why no publication?

I have not published for several reasons. The main one is that I have no academic creditials.

That is not generally required for publication; what counts is whether the submitted paper follows the norms. In some instances referees may want to see that the paper has the support of someone else in the field who is known or at a known institute to save themselves wasted time, if the paper is novel and would require nontrivial time to check, but that's easy enough to obtain. Page fees can often be waived, too, when someone doesn't have a grant or institution to pay them. Doug
